Congratulations to four ACS students whose artwork received high marks from judges at the Atlantic County Teen Arts Festival in early May and became part of a “Selected Artworks” exhibit at the Stockton University Art Gallery from May 10 to May 18. The four talented artists are, from left, 12th grader Imohimi Unuigbe, 11th grader Lin Xiao, 12th grader Rebekah Darragh, who had two pieces selected, and 7th grader Ryleigh Martin. Lin’s and Imohimi’s art pieces were also selected to move up to the NJ State Teen Arts Festival that will open on May 28 at Ocean County College. Lin’s artwork will also be part of a festival touring exhibit. Rebekah’s two pieces were selected for an upcoming spotlight exhibit in Stockton University’s Noyes Museum of Art in the Arts Garage in Atlantic City.
The four students who received special recognition were joined by seven other ACS students who attended the May 3 Atlantic County Teen Arts Festival, along with ACS art teachers Sherry Mirakian and Patti Scardilli. At the festival, the students participated in a variety of workshops, including one on painting murals and on playing the drums.
